Abstract
A camera module according to the invention comprises one flexible substrate, first and second camera units mounted on the same face of this flexible substrate, and bent parts so set in prescribed positions of the flexible substrate that the directions of the fields of view of the first and second camera units be reverse to each other. As these features can provide a configuration in which the directions of the fields of view of the two camera units are reverse (180 degrees) to each other, there is no need to provide an FPC, which is a printed circuit board for control use, for each camera but one common FPC can suffice, resulting in an advantage of simpler structure.
